Looking for good listening material for beginners? Here is a story told to you in slow Korean.

Improve your Korean listening skills with stories that are told to you a bit slowly! In this video, teacher Kyeong-eun talks about something that everyone in Korea eats on their birthday – 미역국(seaweed soup)!

If you want to read more about what 미역 is, check out this Wikipedia page in English or this post in Korean.

Thanks for those slow videos. It really helps with reading and listening/pronunciation.
On another note, when is your 23rd textbook coming out? i have been waiting since i saw your post about it two weeks ago.
thanks

Thanks!!! We are announcing our pre-order plans for that book tomorrow!

Thank you for this video series! My response:
옛날, 싱가폴사람 생일날 긴 국수를 꼭 먹었어요. 그 이유가 긴 국수를 먹으면, 장수명 있다고 했어요. 그 전통은 사라졌어요. 요즘에는 사람들이 그냥 생일 파티 하고 케이크 먹어요.
어렸을 때, 저도 생일을 이렇게 축하했어요. 그런데 요즘에는 너무 바빠서, 생일을 안 축하해요. 그래도 기억에 남는 생일 있어요. 저는 대학교 때 생일이 기억에 남아요. 우리 엄마가 제 좋아하는 책을 사서 책가방에 숨겼어요. 저는 너무 놀라고 행복했어요.
A long time ago, Singaporeans ate long noodles on birthdays. The reason was said to be that you would have a long life if you ate long noodles. That tradition is gone. These days, people just have birthday parties and eat cakes.
When I was young, I celebrated my birthday like this, too. But nowadays, I am too busy to celebrate my birthday. But still, I have a memorable birthday. I remember this birthday when I was in university. My mother bought a book I liked and hid it in my school bag. I was so surprised and happy.
